After the big giveaway...

... I can finally blog all the things that were given.

A rabbit named Lizzie with an unusually large head:



And a tie: (Why a tie? you ask. I don't know. Just because.)



Pattern: Lovable toys from LMKG (rav link)
Yarn: Knitpicks Crayon (100% pima cotton)

An incredibly cute sweater on an unbearably cute little girl:



Pattern: Improvised using EZ's percentage system as a guide (rav link)
Yarn: Recycled from a Gap sweater

Some mittens:



And some more mittens:



Pattern: Herringbone mittens from Elliphantom knits (rav links)
Yarn: Cascade 220 and Patons Classic Wool Merino

A long-promised sweater for Mr Hot Cakes' sister:



In supposedly superwash wool (which is apparently not superwash, according to many sources). Oh well.



Pattern: Central Park Hoodie (This is a great pattern!) (rav link)
Yarn: Knitpicks Swish (100% superwash wool.... um, not!)

And some birthday socks for my favorite sister:



Pattern: I used the toe-up sock formula from IK summer 2007 (rav link) and striped every 4 rows. The calf increases ended up looking a bit pouchy, but after you put them on, who can tell?
Yarn: Happy Feet from Plymouth Yarns (100% superwash wool--for real this time.)

Happy holidays everyone!
